I received my pair this week and took them out for a first run. This review is 100% spot on. Perfect update. Upper is more comfy than v1, outsole grip is noticeably better, and the updated foam is an improved experience. Worth every penny!

You are just cool guys. Meghan's laughing at the end made my day. Now I can't stop laughing...

Ordered mine this morning. I can't wait to try em out 😊

I have 3x pairs of Superblast 1s ..... 430mi, 330mi and 80mi, and the 400+ pair still feel fantastic. I will definitely be sticking a pair of 2s in rotation.

Yeah, I have three pairs as well and I don’t see the point in v2. Not that much of a difference like Thomas said.

Appreciate the confirmation. Could never get my hands on SB1, pre-ordered this blind. Can't wait to get it.

930 miles in my sb1’s. Still feel great 💯

I have over 850 miles in v1 (because they have been sold out in my size forever…) They still feel great! Never been able to put that many miles on any shoe!

Will give it another try. The outsole seems much better. And it sounds like an improved midsole and upper too, so worth trying.

Got mine on Monday and 70km in. A little clunky/not as cruisy as the Nimbus at 5min/km and slower, and not as fast/snappy/propulsive as a plated shoe for tempo/+ pace, but sooo much more forgiving. The toe box is reasonably accommodating, but they are not particularly wide in the midfoot. Early days, but I think it's going to be the best shoe I've worn for longer tempo runs, progressive runs, and longer Z2 runs with intervals - doesn't feel like there's much tradeoff between pace and cruisy comfort. I'll choose this every time if I'm in 2 minds about whether to put on a fast shoe or a daily.

I've been using Superblast 1 for my Marathon training, and I was even thinking of running the race in it. Such a great shoe 👌

I think that the thing about this shoe. People mention the price, but it’s genuinely a "do-it-all" shoe. I’m running in a pair of V1’s now and rather than dig out a pair race shoes for the Great North Run I’m considering using the Superblast so I’m comfortable on the day. Also because the race is so busy that a race shoe is kinda wasted. Lol😂

Thanks Thomas for explaining the size issue, I feel like I ordered the right size this morning :)

I ordered a size 9 UK from Japan and although they were a little roomy, my concern more than anything was I had some heel rub, my fear was I was moving around in the shoe to much. However over time I think the shoe has started to flex more and I’ve had no issues since. I also have very minor Morton’s in my right foot and I’m always very aware now of making sure I’m in a shoe that allows my toes to splay more. I used to run in snug fitting shoes and my gut feeling is that was partly the cause of the condition. I’m hoping the v2 is similar and will have some toe box room.

I wore the original last year at Berlin and Chicago. Worked great since I was chilling with the marathons being only 2 weeks apart.

Pretty solid shoe. It will definitely hold up to miles and perform an array of runs. With that said I don’t get how people say it can be used for some speed. Still feels a little soft for that as in I would grab my endorphin speed 4. To each is your own. Build, fit, comfort, ease of use an A+

Lehhhhhsgo, mine just shipped today!

Yeah, I’m going to leave it a few months and see what happens. I live in the UK, had to get my previous pair from Japan because they were non-existent in the UK. Will probably be the same for V2.

Really skeptical of that new upper. Really like the motionwrap and the race day feel it has. This daily trainer upper looks that it might be super hot especially on a warm summer day, I guess I’ll have to wait and find out myself

I've got about 1000km on my Superblasts, I think it is partly due to the durability of the FFTurbo. Do you think FFTurbo+ will last as long, seeing as it doesn't need "breaking in"?

Superblast Paris+ 2, the sequel

Already sold out in my size 11 everywhere online. Such a bummer. Hope Asics releases more supply soon, as my original Superblasts are getting a bit long in the tooth. Why didn’t they learn from their supply issues with the first version??

Will find out soon if its a beast 🏃🤞

Europe= €220. Like to Meaghan and Thomas. Happy friday.

Cant help to notice that Meg's shoe is still tied and Tomas is not. I remember them talking about her habit of not untying her shoes. 😂

Waiting for this to be released in Canada. I'm normally a 10.5 or 11 for running shoes, but for the Novablast 3, I am a size 10. Anyone have an idea how the Superblast 2 relates in sizing to the NB3?

Got to 600 miles in the OG, it's a value for money purchase

It's already sold out on the Asics US website! Sounds like the perfect update, like they listed to all the reviews and comments online. Just hope the foam doesn't die before 500km and it will be perfect.

I did an 18km rolling hill long run and they were good, but nothing too different to my Novablast 4s. I did one tempo run and again they were fine... but I can really feel the high stack, they felt quite clumsy and became hard work towards the end - they felt overly soft in the forefoot and not giving me much back.
